Kathy Griffin defends Michelle Wolf on 'The Wendy Williams Show'

Griffin, who came under fire after posing for photos holding a likeness of President Trump's severed head in May 2017, visited "The Wendy Williams Show," where she spoke of her show of solidarity with Wolf, who skewered Trump administration officials at last weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner.

"Can you believe I went?" Griffin asked Williams.

"I can't believe they invited you!" Williams responded.

Griffin claims she kept running into Republicans who, according to the 57-year-old comic, had been trying to kill her.

Rather than bringing a security guard, Griffin was accompanied by her 38-year-old boyfriend Randy Bick, with whom she posed on a red carpet for the first time since they started dating in 2011. Griffin said she ate before the dinner so that she wouldn't have food in her teeth if confronted by right wing politicos. Williams mentioned that she'd heard Griffin was the first one on her feet once Wolf finished her 20-minute bit in which she attacked Trump and administration officials including Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

"I was Michelle Wolf's biggest defender," she said. "I stood up like this and said 'Did it girl. You did it girl."

Griffin said she then stared down former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who was sitting nearby.

"I started some crap," she boasted. "I got into fights and everything."
